Denver Nuggets forward Jordan Hamilton has been suspended one game without pay for throwing a punch and making contact with the shoulder of Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams, the NBA announced Wednesday.

Hamilton was assessed a Flagrant Foul 2 and ejected for an incident that occurred with 11:01 remaining in the fourth quarter of Denver's 105-93 loss to the Thunder Tuesday at Pepsi Center.

Hamilton will serve his suspension when the Nuggets visit the Phoenix Suns Friday, at US Airways Center.
